Easter baskets can be fun-filled without being sugar filled. I remember when I was little my Easter baskets had a little bit of both candy and non-candy items. This year I am excited to include a bunch of non-candy items in their baskets and I am excited to share some fun ideas with all of you on things we have found and played with that we think your kids will love.
Check out our guide below:
(This list is not in any particular order. We truly love all of these toys we are suggesting for your Easter Baskets.)
Egg-Mazing Egg Decorator
I love that there is no mess and the kids really enjoyed creating fun designs on the eggs. It is great for little ones, too. Older kids will want to make more intricate designs while younger kids will be so excited to see the colors appear on the eggs. I truly love this.
“Why didn’t someone hop on this idea sooner? You create endless vibrant designs while this neat little machine spins an egg. Includes 8 really cool, colorful markers and requires 4 AA batteries. No mess, just fun!”
For ages 3-10 yrs, from Hey Buddy Hey Pal LLC.

Looking to fill your baskets even more?
I recently headed over to our local dollar tree and found some incredible items like: jump ropes, puzzles, playing cards, fun packs that have coloring activities inside, bubbles and so much more. I love that the toys have some of our kids favorite licensed characters on them, as well. I saw lots of characters on these items such as the Avengers, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Paw Patrol, Hatchimals, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The dollar tree has a great selection of crafty items, spring fun (like kites, outdoor games, gardening gloves, seeds and flower pots) and toys for kids.
I am the type of parent that loves to stick some traditional Easter candies in the basket (like jelly beans and a chocolate bunny or two and of course a small package of Peeps) but, I am excited to fill their baskets with some pretty awesome toys, as well. I hope this guide helps you find something your kids will love and enjoy opening this Easter morning.
Hope the Easter Bunny treats you good this year!
